GRITS.

Today, my host father made grits for breakfast. I have never eaten it but it was so good!
Grits are small broken grains of corn. They were first produced by Native Americans centuries ago. They made both "corn" grits and "hominy" grits. Falls Mill produces "corn" grits.

My host father made fryed grits.
This is recipe.

4 c. water
1 c. Albers Grits
1/2 tsp. salt
2 eggs, beaten
Bread crumbs

Boil the water, add the salt; slowly pour the grits into the water, stirring constantly. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer gently for about 20 minutes. Remove from heat and pour into greased loaf pan. Chill over night.

To fix, slice into 1/2 inch thick slices, dip in the egg, then the bread crumbs, the egg again, and the crumbs once more. Fry in melted butter or vegetable oil until nice and brown. Yummy!
